IMCA SuperNationals Champion LaCrosse To Be Honored At His Home Track
(Luxemburg, WI) - A ceremony honoring the 2005 IMCA Supernational modified
champion Benji LaCrosse will take place on Saturday night, October 1 during
the two day Fall Classic at Luxemburg Speedway presented by Pepsi and
Budweiser.
LaCrosse, from Luxemburg, was also the track's 2005 champion. Earlier this
month LaCrosse made history by becoming the first ever Wisconsin driver to
capture the prestigious Supernationals title down in Boone, Iowa. "We're
proud to honor Benji during a trackside ceremony at intermission," said
track manager Rick Goral. "What he did at Boone was simply incredible.
We're pretty lucky to have our own track champion, who's also a hometown hero,
be known as one of the top modified drivers in the nation."
LaCrosse's giant six foot tall trophy he won will be on display under the
grandstand Saturday night. His massive victory flag and winner's check
totaling $2,000 will also be shown off for the fans. LaCrosse will also sign
autographs. "It's going to be a lot of fun that night, no doubt,"
said LaCrosse, who plans on racing that night in his Tri-County Heating/DeGroot
Construction sponsored number 54. "Without a doubt Luxemburg Speedway has
the toughest competition for a weekly show anywhere in Wisconsin when it comes
to modifieds. It's that tough competition every Friday night that helped
prepare me to win the big one down in Iowa."
Racing starts Friday night at 6:30 p.m. with racing getting underway at 5:15
p.m. on Saturday night. Hot laps will be run both nights approximately 45
minutes to one hour prior to race time. The grandstand opens at 5:30 p.m.
Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday.
Luxemburg Speedway is located 15 minutes east of Green Bay off highway 54 at
the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds. For more information call 920 863 8446. The
